For a crime and recovery of such magnitude, this Press Release by the EFCC does not make any meaning without the name of the criminal perpetrator.

Don't mind them, we are not serious with this fighting corruption thing. Name the bastard or are they scared.

If it's Yahoo boys with chicken change, they will plaster their name and pictures all over the place.

Oga, where are the ones they have been recovering since? What happens to those exhibits like laptops & phones they always claim to have recovered from online fraudsters?? How about the obscene amount of jewelry & funds recovered from Deziani, the economy surely should have recovered long ago if it had really been channeled back into the nation’s coffers. No point in celebrating wealth redistribution if the others recovered are still uned for. undecided

EFCC announces biggest asset recovery as govt official forfeits estate with 753 duplexes

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Monday announced the single largest asset recovery since its inception in 2003.

The development followed a ruling by Justice Jude Onwuegbuzie of the Federal Capital Territory High Court on the final forfeiture of an Abuja estate measuring 150,500 square metres and containing 753 units of duplexes and other apartments.

According to the EFCC, the estate, located on Plot 109 Cadastral Zone C09, Lokogoma District, Abuja, belonged to a government official.

“The forfeiture of the property to the federal government by a former top brass of the government was pursuant to EFCC’s mandate and policy directive of ensuring that the corrupt and fraudulent do not enjoy the proceeds of their unlawful activities,” the statement added.

The EFCC said it relied on Section 17 of the Advance Fee Fraud And Other Fraud Related Offences Act No 14, 2006 and Section 44 (2) B of the Constitution of the 199 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to push its case.

Ruling on the Commission’s application for the final forfeiture of the property, Justice Onwuegbuzie held that the respondent have not shown cause as to why he should not lose the property, “which has been reasonably suspected to have been acquired with proceeds of unlawful activities”.

“The property is hereby finally forfeited to the Federal Government,” the judge declared, according to the statement.

The statement added, “The road to the final forfeiture of the property was paved by an interim forfeiture order, secured before the same Judge on November 1, 2024.

“The government official which fraudulently built the estate is being investigated by the EFCC. The forfeiture of the asset is an important modality of depriving the suspect of the proceeds of the crime.

“The justification for the forfeiture is derived from Part 2, Section 7 of the EFCC Establishment Act, which stipulates that the EFCC “has power to cause investigations to be conducted as to whether any person, corporate body or organization has committed any offence under this Act or other law relating to economic and financial crimes and cause investigations to be conducted into the properties of any person if it appears to the Commission that the person’s lifestyle and extent of the properties are not justified by his source of income.”

The statement added that EFCC chairman, Ola Olukoyede, has repeatedly described asset recovery as pivotal in the fight against corruption, describing it as a major disincentive against the corrupt and the fraudulent.

Addressing of the House of Representatives Committee on Anti-corruption recently, he said, “If you understand the intricacies involved in financial crimes investigation and prosecution you will discover that to recover one billion naira is war.

“So, I told my people that the moment we start investigation we must also start asset tracing because asset recovery is pivotal in the anti-corruption fight; and one of the potent instruments that you can deploy as an anti-corruption agency for an effective fight is asset tracing and recovery.

“If you allow the corrupt or those that you are investigating to have access to the proceeds of their crime, they will fight you with it. So one of the ways to weaken them is to deprive them of the proceeds of their crime.”

Selective persecution. Dasuke who didn't steal half of this they publish his name and even all of his family. They even paid foreign newspaper to blackmail them. This EFCC is a joke.

More than 60% of the estates you see in Abuja are proceeds of stolen public funds being laundered. This is just one of them. Nigeria is cesspool of corruption. It should bother everyone alive in Nigeria how one person has the opportunity of stealing billions upon billions of our collective revenue to build such number of properties and nobody found out until he left office and got into trouble with EFCC. How does government allow people have uncontrolled access to public coffers and divert moneys without anyone checking or noticing immediately.

Why can't they mention the person's name? Thieves shielding thieves from public.

That's how one FIRS official has 15 duplexes in an estate (name withheld) in Lagos.

Petition the EFCC with these if you are sure about this information, and please do it discreetly.

In today's fast-paced business world, getting your message out there is more critical than ever. One of the most effective ways to ensure your press release reaches the right audience is through a business news wire.

A business news wire allows businesses to distribute their press releases directly to media outlets, journalists, and industry influencers, ensuring widespread visibility. This service is especially important for brands that want to reach a larger audience beyond just their immediate circle of followers or subscribers.

Wider Reach
A business news wire can help you get your message in front of thousands of media outlets worldwide, increasing the likelihood of your press release being picked up by top-tier journalists.

Time-Saving
Instead of individually reaching out to journalists or publications, a business news wire streamlines the distribution process, saving your team valuable time and resources.

Credibility Boost
When your press release is published through a reputable business news wire, it carries a certain level of authority, which can enhance your brand's credibility and reputation in your industry.

Targeted Exposure
Many business news wire services offer options to target specific industries, regions, or demographics, ensuring your press release is seen by the right people at the right time.

In conclusion, a business news wire is an invaluable tool for brands looking to expand their reach and make a lasting impact in their industry.

The recent announcement by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) regarding the final forfeiture of an estate containing 753 duplexes is a significant milestone in the fight against corruption in Nigeria. This asset recovery is the largest in the EFCC’s history since its establishment in 2003, underscoring the Commission's commitment to tackling economic and financial crimes.

The estate, seized from a former top government official, serves as a strong message that the illicit accumulation of wealth through fraudulent means will not go unpunished. The court's ruling, which declared the property forfeited to the federal government, highlights the importance of upholding the rule of law and ensuring that those who engage in corrupt practices do not get to enjoy the proceeds of their crimes.

EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, rightly pointed out that asset recovery is a critical element of the anti-corruption effort. Depriving corrupt individuals of their illicit gains not only weakens their ability to resist prosecution but also serves as a deterrent to others who may be tempted to engage in similar activities. Asset tracing and recovery are essential tools in dismantling the financial power of criminals, ensuring that they cannot use their ill-gotten wealth to perpetuate their illegal activities.

This development also reinforces the notion that the fight against corruption is ongoing and relentless. It sends a clear signal to both the public and potential wrongdoers that the EFCC is committed to rooting out corruption at all levels of government. The forfeiture of this estate is a positive step forward, and it is a reminder that no one, regardless of their position or status, is above the law.
